Heard a family convo (not mine ) -

Most people hate atheists than Communists. So they won't vote for atheist.

Ya was there ever an atheist that won a government position?

Not agreeing with someone isn't that same as hating someone.
Not liking what somebody thinks isn't the same as hating someone.

Ask the Witches in the 16-17th c or the Jews in the 19th- 20th. Your 'Sod you Jack, I'm all right' attitude does not do Christianity much credit.

Most people do not hate atheists. Lots of people hate the title "atheist" though.

Oh, so much this. I am sick and tired of people telling me I don't support Freedom of Speech, if I happen to disagree with them.

Not agreeing with a topic or subject is NOT the same as denying their right to Free Speech
